Valentines Alternative

This week I was asked to complete a total of 10 stars worth of design assignments and to center at least two assignments around Jester. Well, that presents no problem to me at all – as I normally focus my assignments around him anyways cause it is so …

Valentine’s Day cards can be pretty cheesy and the point of this assignment was to create something that is better. Well I’m not sure if this is necessarily better, but I wouldn’t mind receiving something like this on love day.

Me being the nerd I am, I know this equation …

It’s Halloween, yes, but that means Valentine’s Day is just around a couple of corners. I was actually thinking today about the Valentine Cards I create for my friends every year, wondering if I should do Halloween cards in a similar style. It could work, right?

Another year another batch of Valentines, still the same crappy photoshopping. Only three this year… unless I find time to make some after work but that’d be past Valentine’s Day. Darth Vader/ Star Wars one. I think this one might be my favorite. Spock/Star Trek Hodor/Game of Thrones. Or the …

I’ve been crushed lately, so my ds106 assignments have fallen to the wayside, but as I begin to emerge from the crazy—which is all good—I find I am just in time for the design assignments (my personal favorite). What’s more, given all the awesome stuff happening in the community this …

The picture, of course, is Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, director of the Hayden Planetarium, superhero to science lovers everywhere.

The original quote is: “The good thing …

Yet another Valentine’s Day has arrived and for the third year in a row I whipped some cards up, and yet again I did not improve my style (but I kinda like the “bad” look to them… they’re campy). This years batch includes Doctor Who, Star Trek and Star Wars. …

Week six we got introduced to design! We had to choose different design assignments, and I choose to do Valentine’s Alternative! This assignment was worth 2 stars, and it was a little bit more complex than I had originally anticipated. I messed around with Photoshop, which I had never done…

DS106 Assignment:
Make a creative Valentine’s Day card.
The Process:
This was done completely in Photoshop. Just for fun, I created the Pokeball from scratch.
The Story:
I recommend to pay the extra few dollars for a Hallmark card if you don’t want to be rejected. Go for one that…

This assignment was to make a Valentines day card because recent ones that are available on shelves are trash. So I chose to create this design assignment. Not sure if its better though.
First I found a good picture on google to use as my backround. Then thought of a…

The Cuckoo would have come home to roost if things were just a little different at the mental institution.
You can thank Usher’s “Twork it Out” for bringing this wayward couple together. It was touch and go for a long time, but we all knew that this is how the…

Happy Alternative Valentine’s Day ds106!…

I was in Urban Outfitters the other day and stumbled across a postcard pack labeled “Unbridled Passion” by Franco Accornero.
It’s a collection of 30 different postcards from an artist who has painted more than 5,000 romance novel covers (as well as westerns, thrillers and sci-fi books). The postcards are…

On this Valentine’s Day, I have decided to do something that will thrill my husband more than just about any other gift. I give him the gift of a Nerd Valentine.

(If you aren’t sure who this is, just look up “Apple” on the google machine. He’s pretty famous.)
This…

Valentines day is upon us again and I decided to create nerd valentines for the second year in a row. What’s more is I’m posting this BEFORE Valentines day, instead of a day late like last year. This year’s crop includes more Star Trek, some Community and one from Doctor…

Valentines Alternative ds106
The assignment was to make a Valentines cardtargeted toward a particular person (real or imaginary).
My first plan was to make a card with the word “ToGetHer”.just because it sounds really niceand it was easy to memorize the spelling back in elementary school.
I used our good old…

This is a day late but I wanted to make these, and I had no time before this.
The first one is from Firefly where shiny means “good, great, neat, cool etc.”
Second one is Star Trek. Sure Vulcans don’t show emotion buuuut I don’t care. I wanted to make…

Here’s my simple but personal valentine to the one I love.…
